About Candice
Candice Yu Simon is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on practical support for everyday struggles. She works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, and depression.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and respectful. Candice aims to help clients find clearer ways forward and build confidence over time.
Candice brings 14 years of professional experience in California to her practice. She adapts discussions and plans to each person's needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all method.
Sessions typically focus on identifying patterns that cause distress and trying small, doable changes between meetings. She emphasizes compassion and sensitivity while helping people set realistic goals.
That might mean learning new ways to respond to anger, practicing skills to reduce anxiety, or exploring how parenting stresses affect mood. Work in therapy is collaborative and paced to what the client can manage.
Candice supports parents who want practical strategies for day-to-day challenges and people who are struggling with motivation or confidence. She helps clients notice what is working and what to change.
Progress is usually tracked in simple steps clients can recognize. Throughout the process she invites honest feedback and adjusts the plan as needed.
Her approach is to empower clients to make steady changes that fit their life and values.
Evidence-based approaches for online support
Candice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and behavior change. One approach helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life evidence to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method teaches simple ways to reframe thinking and build more balanced daily habits.Another approach centers on behavior-focused strategies to manage emotions like anger or low motivation. It breaks larger goals into small actions and tracks progress week to week. These steps can make change feel manageable and help rebuild confidence.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they’ll try methods that match the person’s needs and adjust as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a full-session conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Chat and messaging allow quick check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life.
